I probably shouldn't comment, as I've never used any of these delivery services .. but that said I've always been pretty patient when it comes to online-ordering.

There are a lot of things I could go to a store to buy if I needed them "immediately". If I can way a week or two then online ordering is just something I do because it is either very easy to do, or a lot cheaper.

Right now I'm waiting on the delivery of some NE555 timer chips, so I can build a clock circuit to drive a Z80. Since I'm in no immediate rush I just ordered a bunch from aliexpress, I have no doubt they'll turn up in six weeks.

(I did look at how much it would cost to buy a single 555 locally, and found a couple of online sites such as mouser.fi, and partco.fi, but they were quoting €10-20 for delivery which was just not something I was going to pay, even if the delivery would have been speedy.)

Also last week I got nostalgic for when I used to have the complete collection of Discworld books, so I ordered half of them online, I was given a delivery estimate of a week which is perfectly fine, I've no shortage of books to read here in the meantime.

It's not just Georgia. The fact is, this is the norm to all forms of gov, all across the world, since the beginning of any form of ruling body. There are pockets where it's better or worse, but what you described is part of the norm, no matter the political party.

While that sounds super debbie downer, I think the reason it's this way is the open secretiveness of politics. Everything is out in the open, but no one cares. If the general public applied the same amount of passion and reseach for celebrities, the latest Star Wars/Marvel show or games to the local, state or fed gov affairs, the amount of gov ineptitude and corruption would be a fraction of what it is today. Even more so, representative gov is supposed to make that a whole hell of a lot easier for the public. Hold the few experts accountable that can better trudge through everyday politics. But... that's all wishful thinking and ranting.
Biggest hurdle is finding stuff outside of Amazon. People are used to it and Google results are gamed from every possible angle. Even searching for [item] made in [country] yielded nothing for me, because the SEO gap is too huge.

Turns out attracting massive traffic and then acting as a platform works all too well.

So 1. make another platform specifically for off Amazon stuff or
2. specialize for SEO for small companies.

The consolidation of the Web into FAANG needs to end.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts Kareem! Author of the article here.

Your point on roadmap communication probably deserves another article in itself. “The real roadmap trap in my experience is that the org takes a roadmap as a promise of when specific things will be delivered.” That sentence brings home a point that I didn’t clarify well in the article.

Let me try to expand my view on the underlying problems faced by PMs that I think you’re touching upon: Product roadmaps are confused with release plans. And us Product Managers haven’t done a great job at distinguishing the two. This stems from a mismatch in expectations: While Product Managers try to create and communicate the mid-term product strategy, the ‘operational’ stakeholders (functions whose job is to conduct marketing campaigns, create sales collateral etc.) need to know about product releases.

The concept that Product Roadmaps ≠ Release Plans isn’t novel, and my motivation behind the article stems from exactly the problem you are describing. I think changing the format of the roadmap is a great way to start changing expectations and discussions around roadmaps. It’s not sufficient in itself, but necessary. As long as we show features mapped over time, our audience will take a roadmap “as a promise of when specific things will be delivered”, to borrow your phrasing.

I guess just one of the issues in separating the two formats is that somewhere between 1-6 months out, the line between a release plan and a roadmap blurries. That’s why I’m currently convinced that these two need to live in distinct documents.

With regards to the time horizon, I’m 100% with you in that I’m also hesitant to commit to anything further than 6-8 weeks/one dev cycle out. However I do think that it’s important to communicate product goals to the rest of the org beyond that time frame, though not in the form of features.

A final thought: This topic is highly dependent on company and product maturity. My experience comes mostly from fairly early-stage companies. In my mind, as the company matures, other functions have longer planning cycles, and the committed time horizon must increase. So I’d be curious to hear how later-stage product teams are handling this.

Curious to hear further thoughts from you!

God we used it with the IBM San Francisco framework, which was trying to model every business interaction in the world. Too say it was abstract would be an understatement. Because it was so generic it didn't just have an amount attached to an transaction, instead it modeled a Money object that had a currency object. I'm sure it was well done to some degree, but loading that framework into Visual Age absolutely killed the poor 2000 era machine.

California's homelessness problem is not caused by a lack of welfare. It's caused by deep structural problems. You can't solve it with money. You can probably make it worse by pretending that you are doing something though.

There needs to be a cultural shift away from sprawl and single family housing to modest 3 story apartments. Once you have enough vacant housing you can consider giving it away.

You should also have low nuisance commercial business like supermarkets mixed into your residential neighborhoods. Reducing car dependence would help people who cannot afford a car or maintain a used one.

Drug addicts need safe places where they get clean drugs and where the dosage is controlled by a trained doctor. The idea is that the doctor slowly tapers off the dosage. Recovery is possible if you give them the minimum necessary dosage to fend off withdrawal effects but not enough to cause a high. It also keeps needles off the street.

A lot of crimes are committed by desperate addicts who cannot fund their addiction. Some of them do prostitution, others steal. If you give them what they really want they don't have to engage in destructive behavior.

I'm pretty sure they also screwed up somewhere else. Most undergraduate engineers would not control a plane with a single sensor.

It's completely ridiculous and it was definitely a management decision to do that (there have to be somewhat decent engineers at boeing, because they build planes after all).

If you do something so fundamentally wrong, chances are you screwed up more than once...

World’s Ice Is Melting Faster Than Ever, Climate Scientists Say
Hope to see the changes to the flight control software & header tanks work! The last flight was neat, just seeing it perform the belly flop maneuver. Today we might see it land if there's enough pressure in the reserve tanks.

What's insane about this flight profile is that fuel tanks aren't supposed to do this. The flip it does right before it hits the ground makes all the liquid fuel splash around and slosh to one side. So instead, it uses some of the hot gasses from the rocket engine to pre-heat a small amount of fuel and use it to pressurize a small reserve tank that is used to get the engines going. One of the causes of the explosion from the last test was that they ran out of pressure in the fuel tank, causing oxidizer rich combustion which eventually burnt up the engines. So hopefully they tweak the system a little and we get to see a belly flop and a successful landing!
I cannot see any comparison there.

So, it never crossed your mind that racist write people enslaved Asia for hundreds of years?

They destroyed the Asian government, drugged the Asian population, and forced financial restitutions on the Asians to pay for their their own enslavement.

But yet, here we are. Hundreds of years later, and the Asian countries are finally shaking off their colonial enslavement from the white man. And here you are, claiming that they add nothing to the world’s innovations.

It’s just a thought. And maybe something you should consider first before judging others.
This is the answer I envision exactly. The NMA simply needs to offer an annual solution. I think $50 to $100. I have always wondered why it hasn't been done before now also. They complain constantly about people reading their work for free, yet provide no honest mechanism for payments...and expect people to sign up for monthly charges to read one article. Why would anyone pay 5x, 10x to read on article in a paper they know they will not need to read again if they are just researching a particular topic and it comes up in their search results? The rest of the paper is probably dross and yet you are expected to pay for the entire thing and pay for ads etc that have no relevance to you. The quality of the paper would be forced to improve under such a system and they could no longer hide behind forced sub revenues.

I am not really sure why people think the model is economic. The fixed costs are huge, it is either difficult or impossible to actually offset a living wage to the delivery person if they are only fulfilling one order at a time. The only way this model works now is by hosing down restaurants (in many places right now, there is literally no choice for restaurants but to make delivery apps money). It is true, lots of these restaurants got themselves into this mess by not realising how valuable deliveries were...but...I don't understand how this is long-term viable. Paying someone EUR10 to deliver EUR20 of food makes no sense for most customers.
I suppose the right answer is "it depends". For most unikernels the answer is no: they are highly specialized, often targeting a single application or language, and built on top of small/basic OSes. Some of them have targeted various levels of POSIX compatibility, e.g., OSv (http://osv.io/) and HermiTux (https://ssrg-vt.github.io/hermitux/) though they don't always support a large number of syscalls/applications. An older project was Rump (largely abandoned), which used the NetBSD kernel to be (mostly) POSIX compatible, though performance wasn't great and it's largely abandoned. An active project targeting at least partial POSIX compatibility is Unikraft (http://www.unikraft.org/).
I walk to the restaurant and get the food myself. I refuse to take part in this gig economy with modern exploited day laborers, and big international companies dipping in to the already small margins of local businesses.
> "Our phones already read our faces, and our faces are already all over the internet, so I don't think it really makes much of a difference [to someone's security].”

That’s exactly why it’s a problem. The phones, at least the good ones, have better security and store the face map securely and allow it to be used for specific purposes in a secure manner. The faces being all over the Internet is also the problem why such systems are susceptible to attacks.

> It's faster, more convenient, and safer... and you don't have to worry about leaving your phone or cards at home."

It may be convenient. It may be fast. But it’s certainly not safer.

I worry that this will become the future, where users might as well have a permanent tattoo on their foreheads saying “Please rob me”. I also wonder who’ll bear the time and money lost due to fraud and theft. “Someone stole your face, please change it” doesn’t sound like a solution.

You are around 25 years too late. Since the very beginning Arxiv has been used to publish not only cutting-edge research but also divulgation pieces, reviews, commentaries,workshop's accompanying materials,lecture notes and books.
I agree, but the paper you link has more than one year. Now the benchmarks are much better, and in most cases Racket CS is faster than Racket BC. I think the even point was a few month ago, but there were too many bugs (small bugs, in weird corner cases, but important enough to not switch until they were fixed).

If you don't mind crappy graphics with numbers pulled out of the air https://imgur.com/a/9r0aJzd The idea is trading a slower development speed for some time, to get more speed and features in the long run.

Perhaps the change in the slope in BC is too much, and the current speed of CS is greater than the imaginary speed of a version of BC in an universe where BC didn't happen. I hope the crappy graphic in Paintbrush is enough to make it clear that the numbers are pulled out of the air. Anyway, one of the hard fact of the blog post submitted here is that in most cases the current version of CS is faster than the current version of BC.
Because China wants to be able to manufacture everything so that they are beholden to no one. Seize the means of production as it were.

Most of China's innovations in aircraft stem from the fact that they lack the advanced metallurgy and engine manufacturing chops to make powerful engines. Their equivalent to the Blackhawk helicopter uses an advanced fly-by-wire system instead of heavy hydraulics systems because they can't produce an engine powerful enough to meet operational requirements and have hydraulic controls.

My point of view about LSP and the ways we can violate it
Everything has unintentional consequences, because nothing exists in isolation. Arguing that doing nothing is the only moral thing to do, because one can not perfectly predict all that will happen when one does something is absurd. As is your mockery of science, that ostentatiously dissing of a straw-man. We all know the scientific method, please don't claim it is about absolute truth and certainty.

The GMO mosquitos are a good path because the direct consequences affect mosquito genes. If it is not effective enough, then we are back to poisoning the water with delta-endotoxins, where we know the consequences on things that are not mosquitos are far more severe.

HN is, from what I can tell, not necessarily the best bellwether for 'human actions taken'. It's sort of a small, insulated bubble. Just a heads up.

The biggest problem is that, for many folks, there is no longer such a thing as 'local' store to buy things they need. Everything is a chain - wal-mart, dollar general, those sorts of places. So, to them, what's the difference between amazon and faceless corporation (b)?

I was addressing the claim that “CA is failing the homeless”.

There are a multitude of factors that affect the results of various states’ responses to the homeless crisis, and surely some are better than others.

But I wouldn’t be able to put blame on an individual state (or city). CA has some unique issues that exacerbate it compared to others, although there is room for improvement.

But by and large, this is a problem requiring a federal solution, and the pressure should be on them to fix it. Local officials are just fighting a losing fight until they get the assistance.
